After alot of fine tuning I was able to get modern vinyl records to play decently on this Victor M phonograph from 1905!
More coming soon...
You should try some hard EDM/jungle/DnB or whatever 90's funky shit on that beast
For sure, I'll see what I can get my hands on.
This is fantastic! How loud is it? I wonder how hard it would be to replace the motor with something more consistent in speed. This one you can tell speeds up and slows down.
Thanks! It will get ear-hurting loud when playing old big band 78s from the 1940s. Vinyl records are alot quieter since the grooves are smaller but I still measured around 70dB from the edge of the horn. It's alot louder than you would expect!
The spring motors on these machines are designed to spin at around 78 rpm so they have trouble maintaining such a low speed of 33rpm. Although, many other antique windup gramophones will just stall out when you turn the speed down to 33 rpm so I got pretty lucky with this machine!
Easiest thing to do would be to swap out the spring motor for an electric motor. However that takes away the charm. Some things seem to make the speed more consistent such as greasing the motor more often. I might be able to use a different kind of grease which might also help.
@@SuperiorSandbox Wow, that is pretty loud! I didn't realize it was windup. Definitely has charm to it. As cool as the original is, I wonder if someone makes a newer windup motor that perform better at slower speeds. How long does it play for when fully wound up? I'm sure it has some governor in it that limits the speed. Super cool.
@@AKSoapy29 I'm sure it's possible to make a modern version for modern records. That would be awesome. Fully wound is just enough to play a full side of an LP oddly enough!
